Who did the poll and how many people were suckered into voting? Must be a loon only poll done by the crybaby Larry Odonull.

At this point Obama is tanking and looks like a fool so how in the world could he beat anyone at this point?

I dont think he could beat any of 8-10 GOP candidates myself with his horrific track record.

I'd argue he's the best thing for Obama right now. This type of talk will not lure in Indy voters and that's who decides elections.

You are dead wrong.

Indys want balanced budgets and no more piling on the the debt. Both Obama had failed at miserably.

Remember the debate when Obama stated that he would run this country on a budget because American household do it and so should Washington?

What happened to that promise?

Trump clearly has the Democrats scared and thats why they are trying to hard to dismiss him.

Obviously things get much more accurate as you get closer to the Election, and Labor Day is generally the time where polls tend to get viewed much closer. However, in the case of Trump its not like we are talking about someone with little recognition, and his poll numbers are just absolutely awful.

Good work Rick Scott And Rick Snyder in Michigan, small businesses are really excited about his plan and want to create THOUSANDS of new jobs in the future now
If Trump does the same thing for the nation we'll be saved economically

It all sounds so easy, doesn't it? Just do away with corporate taxes and everything will be fine. Let's revisit this a year from now and see how well Florida is progressing under Rick Scott.

Enough said
you are still comparing him to obama, a man who


devalued our currency

allowed the banksters to keep their gigantic unearned bonuses

walks away from responsibility, often by leaving the country or vacationing(remember the oil spill disaster)-he didn't want to deal with BP because he "knew what they were going to say". WTH?

engages in endless war/skirmish actions with no end in sight (see antiwar.com)

encourages illegal immigration when we have an oversupply of labor in this country

waffles on almost every issue (the most recent being that he is sorry that he voted against raising the debt ceiling!)

increased the war funding budget

taxed tanning bed use

presides over a gigantic increase in oil speculation and oil price increases, hurting virtually all citizens financially.

as far as the birth certificate thing, you have to admit that obama's "proof" looks nothing like an actual birth certificate issue, (see nordyke twins) although, once elected, i don't see where it matters --except to make him ineligible to run again.

The biggest mistake in American political history was the election of Obama and his thugs.

Then again, he is also a gift at the same time because people have awaken to just how liberalism is a bad thing for America and they voted to start getting rid of liberals in the November election.

Trump is playing Obomber like a charm and is owning him and his followers.
Exactly!! I tried to rep you, but have to spread more around first.

I love how Trump is not afraid to call Obummer out and he will go after him without being afraid to back down. That is what we need! No matter how far Trump makes it in any bid for election, he has already started to get tough on exposing Obummer and that just paves the way to get rid of the leftie thugs whom have been in charge.

Change is coming.....finally from the 'right' direction.
